My Best Friend

My best friend inspired me to write this poem after they sorta left my life. I was hoping it would explain how lost I was without them there after having them for 10 years.

My heart twists and turns heaves and hoes spins and squeezes and I can't calm it Only you could help me Only you made my heart understandable. But where have you gone oh dear friend? I have lost you So now I seek you, With hands outstretched Waiting for your fingers to touch mine, And pull me in your warm embrace, Where I will be home, at last.
